you make trades to steal time from others
& save time you would have spent doing busywork/rerolling
egregious example = shiny ursaluna & the peat log timesink randomizer quest;
hisuian starter duplicates for living dex;
im ok with not having my OT on every single mon as long as i clearly played/evolved that line im not wasting time hunting rare duplicates
GOfags are op on gts
i finished the entire national dex in a couple days
+it gives you something to do with those 22 non-shiny lugia you have laying around
